"Nothing is as luscious as good rich black," my 9th grade art teacher, Miss Souther, explained. And nothing shows off the ebonized oak or madrone in an Elemental Rocker as well as African bubinga backslats and pegs. When Mike Richter, the New York Rangers' All-Star goalie, had back problems a couple of years ago, he flew to Los Angeles to see a specialist. He also started spending more time in his handcrafted rocking chair, made by Robert Erickson, a woodworker in Nevada City, California. The Atlantic Monthly, April 2001 ( read full article ) "Cloudlift" is the name a critic gave the motif that Greene and Greene, architects from Pasadena, California, used in their arts and crafts era architecture and furniture. I've used this undulated, uplifted line that's faintly Chinese in form in several chairs and a table I designed for two clients in Tucson, Arizona. Curly oak and walnut. Chan rocker This chair sits like the Floating Back Rocking Chair, but is shaped with subtly different contours in the headboard and arms. The interplay of soft, rounded shapes with crisp hard lines or arrises is borrowed from the sculpture of Isamu Noguchi and adapted to furniture by Sam Maloof. California walnut

Another stylistic variation on the Floating Back Rocker California walnut An innovation to the tradition of the rocker, this chair allows for adjustment of the angle of the back rest. Quarter sawn sycamore with rosewood slats Common chairmaking wisdom goes something like this: When you increase the number of positions you can get out of a chair, you increase its overall comfort. The goal of comfortable seating is to support the sitter in a balanced or neutral position without curbing her ability to flex, stretch and relax certain muscles. Getting it right produces a chair that people can sit in comfortably for hours. The Adjustable Rocker adds a moveable back angle to its bag of tricks. This does two things. First, it allows the sitter to change positions, increasing comfortable sitting time. (La-Z-Boy™ recliners are famous for this.) Second, the adjustable back actually modifies the size of the chair, making it more versatile. Large people generally find the chair fits well when the back angle is more open, while smaller people seem to prefer the back adjusted to its closed position. The chair's curved seat nicely tucks the sitter into the back lumbar support. European elm and leather
